Marc Domini Abad, MD, FPSGS, FPCSSurgery

Dr. Abad is a general surgeon by profession. He graduated with a BS degree in Medical Technology at the University of Santo Tomas, took his MD at the University of the East- Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center, and his residency training at East Avenue Medical Center.

He has been in the profession for about four years now. For him, being a surgeon is one of the best specializations to venture in primarily because, in being a surgeon, you can address almost all the scopes of the specialty. Some of the challenges he faces are having difficult and complicated cases like dealing with trauma patients, and patients who can’t afford undergoing surgeries when deemed necessary.

His advice for people who would want to venture into the field of medicine is “being a doctor is not only a profession but also about helping people who need you.” As a general surgeon, Dr. Abad does basic operations and offers services like appendectomy, breast surgery, emergency procedures, colon and thyroid cancer screening, surgery, and treatment.
